Congratulations to Naomi Watts and Liev Shreiber on the safe arrival of their new baby boy.
Alexander Pete Schreiber arrived this morning weighing a healthy 8 pounds, 4 ounces and measuring 22 1/2 inches long.
He is the first baby for both parents who met on the set of The Painted Veil.
The news of Watts’ pregnancy unintentionally slipped through her fingers back in February, when a press release circulated by Italian design house Escada—which provided Watts, 38, with her Academy Award duds—prematurely spilled the beans.
“The Escada gown sets off her most precious new asset—the baby she is expecting with longtime boyfriend Liev Schreiber,” read the statement sent to various media outlets, including E!, on Oscar eve.
Watts didn’t address the news on the red carpet, but Schreiber confirmed their expectant status the following night during an appearance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien.
The duo celebrated their impending arrival last week with a coed baby shower at their Los Angeles home,
We wish them the best. I am sure that they will be great parents!!!
